Life in the Bowlby house is never boring and rarely quiet.
On this night however I have reached the point where everyone is sleeping
except me so I am going to use this moment to be productive in my blog and
attempt an update on our ever busy lives. My beautiful wife and three children
keep me ever so on my toes and running every direction seemingly endlessly. Ill
first being with our youngest hatchling….
Erin Nicole has been growing ever so slowly it seems for the
past year. Now pictures are evidence she has changed a little, and there is
more hair to get in the way of those pretty little eyes. Every morning it is a
fight to get her hair in pony tails. Daddy is just not as good with those
things as mommy. But we do have a good time getting dressed every morning.
Still not good working with the potty though so all things in time…. She is
only two and a half. She does love her snacks though, including anything daddy
considers yummy and wants to keep to himself. Oreos are a major such snack that
must be hidden or causes a good deal of mess! She just craves chocolate and caffeine,
and baby dolls. So she is a girl in every way.
Kenneth the twin brother or prince charming as mommy calls
him, is always on the move. Unless he is somehow in the zone of Super Why or
Curious George, he never stays in one spot more than a few seconds. Kenny is
our own form of curious monkey. He does like to play with his sister from time
to time, but they fight a lot too as siblings do. All of our kids are fond of
play time, who isn’t really? His word bank is growing little by little as he
always wants his milk or juice milk as he says. He can get a bit frustrated
when it comes to things like sitting in the car waiting for Avery to get out of
school, or simply not getting his way and throwing a tantrum. But his charm and
sweet spirit every other time of the day wins us over.
Avery finished cheerleading and will be going back into
soccer in the fall which is great! She is really athletic and enjoys the sport.
I imagine our children will be keeping us very busy in the years ahead with
sports. Hopefully I can come to some of her games this time, working on
weekends tends to take away the time. But it is necessary in the long run since
the kids do well with being at home with their parents rather than a big
daycare environment. Avery is doing really well in school and enjoying her time
with friends and playing outside. She has learned how to ride her bike now
without training wheels, and has recently expressed desire to go to her friends
house’s across the street to play. So our little girl is not so little anymore
and it is just too soon! I am so thankful for her and for the woman she is
becoming. I could not have asked for a better Avery than the one the Lord gave us.
The same goes for all my children.
Holly and I remain busy with various work and school
projects. I am busy with my degree for childhood education and Holly with her
Human Resources. So I imagine the coming Spring will be very busy. Hopefully I will
find more time to update then, but for now its late and I must be getting to
rest now!
